Review
"The soul of another is a mystery, and a cat's soul even more so."
--Anton Chekhov (1860-1904)
Book Description
They can be fascinating or frustrating, frolicsome or frosty, but judging from the amount of thought humans have devoted to figuring out what goes on in their furry little heads, it's no wonder cats have become America's favorite pets. They have also long been the favorite pets of some of our greatest writers-Mark Twain, Dorothy L. Sayers, Rudyard Kipling, Emile Zola, P. G. Wodehouse, Edgar Allen Poe, and many others. In THE GREATEST CAT STORIES EVER TOLD you will find stories that range from the esoteric to the homely, from familiar yarns to tales that will come as a surprise, with feline protagonists as diverse as Rhubarb, the bad-tempered yellow tom who inherits a big-league baseball team; Lily, the seductive tortoiseshell who can wrap her owner around her little paw; George Eliot, the silver tabby who may be a bit of a hypochondriac; Calvin, the fastidious Maltese who was so well-loved and well-lamented; and Ming, the possessive Siamese who develops a taste for blood; along with many other cats-every one of them a unique individual. This collection is a testament to the amazing variation of feline personalities-a rich treasury filled with tales of memorable cats that will make a perfect gift for even the most finicky cat lover. Each story in this volume has been selected not only for its intrinsic literary value but also for its ability to convey that special something-that mysterious allure of the cat.
